-Finish reading a book with out starting 2 more before I am done with the 1st.
Ack! Me too. :-)
Saying "oh at least I am not the only person" just does not seem appropriate. :-) I am sorry...
I am trying to read just 1 or 2 books at the same time, and not start another till I have finished one of the first. So, far it is not going well. :-) We will see what happens.
-Finish reading a book with out starting 2 more before I am done with the 1st.
Ack! Me three. :-)
-Finish reading a book with out starting 2 more before I am done with the 1st.
Me four... :-)
While you can get carried away with it, I don't think that there is a problem with being in more than one book at a time. Which is a good thing, considering I too cannot finish one without starting another. I heard a sermon one time that said that it was a good thing.

Oh dear. It sounds like there are a lot of us that do not finish books before starting another one. Hmmmm. JFC & M.J. it sounds like we might have hope though. Read Aaron's comment.
Luke, Thank you for the comment. I am glad to see that you have joined the world of bloggers.
Who was the preacher? What were his reasons for it being good to not finish a book before you start one or three more books? It would be great to have someone saying that what I do with reading is good. :) Thanks!
Sometimes I think that it is good to read more than one at a time because the different ideas I'm learning can then be cross applied to the other books.
Also, it is nice to be reading something lighter for moments when your brain is semi-fried and having trouble interacting with deep thoughts.
I'm glad I'm not alone in my reading habits. :-) I do think that I need to work on keeping the number of simultaneous books down to three or four, though.
Natalie, Agreed if I can keep the number of books I am reading down to 2-4 I think it will be better. I think that 5-6 is too many. :-)
I know what you mean about having lighter reading when the mind needs a break. It helps me enjoy the deeper reading more. :)
